Re: How much "gasoline" do you want in your Fahrenheit ? POLL.

I think it's just right in the current formulation as the strong floral notes soon tame and overwhelm the note quite early on. The gasoline note in Knize Ten hangs around for up to two hours in comparison and is quite unpleasant.

Re: How much "gasoline" do you want in your Fahrenheit ? POLL.

If we're going to dissect this then IMO it's always been more about a motor oil smell than gasoline (there's quite a difference) in Fahrenheit. A few times I've actually thought about this when I got a little gas on my hand at the gas station, thinking, "this really doesn't remind me much of Fahrenheit."

That being said it's mostly present in the original formulation(s). The current formulation has lost much of that oil/greesiness to me and it's more about the violet leaf.

A tanker truck full! I love that note in Fahrenheit, can't get enough of it. There's just something about that mixed with the berries that is intoxicating to me, and thankfully my wife likes it too. It's my Valentines Day scent today as well.

Re: How much "gasoline" do you want in your Fahrenheit ? POLL.

None to mild at most. I do feel a certain boozy-leathery powerhouse vibe, admittedly with a few gasoline like undertones, but then again, the drydown mellows after a while into one of the most persistent yet also subtle, smooth woody and incense-like final impression.

Re: How much "gasoline" do you want in your Fahrenheit ? POLL.

When I had a sample of this, that "petrol" note came across to me much more as a sort of motor oil and grease combination, and those are smells I am well familiar with.
I gave the Fahrenheit sample a few tries, and gave up. Couldn't deal with that oil/grease thing.

Reading this thread, I keep wondering if there is some kind of world wild olfactory nasal mass delusion at work, which is in need of serious study.

There is no gasoline/petrol note in Fahrenheit.

Evidence - hunt through the old threads, hundreds of accomplished noses here raved about Fahrenheit without any mention of a gasoline note - until a couple of years ago, and now everyone smells gasoline. Maybe they've added nice smelling additives to the gasoline/petrol where you live.

I agree -- I've never gotten a gasoline accord from Fahrenheit, and I've smelled versions across the decades now. I will say that there's a sort of evocation of motor oil in its leather accord, which I find alluring and very masculine.

Re: How much "gasoline" do you want in your Fahrenheit ? POLL.

I have the 2010 version and mini of the vintage. The vintage gets to the green and leather notes sooner but I like both quite a lot. Whether gasoline is a listed note or not, it's most definitely there in any version.

Re: How much &quot;gasoline&quot; do you want in your Fahrenheit ? POLL.

I clicked mild, but really, it's subjective. Mild as compared to what? I'm sure many of us would disagree on whether the current formulation has a strong or mild gasoline note. That being said, Jack Hunter summed up my thoughts perfectly.
